eco anxiety

I recently saw the term “eco-anxiety” and I haven’t related this much to a word in a very long time. It is a term that describes “feeling overwhelmed with the existential challenge of climate change”. One of my favourite quotes from this year is:

That’s when I reminded myself that although I am feeling helpless at the moment, I should focus on what I can control – which are adopting lifestyle behaviours, habits, and mindset that can contribute to a livable Earth for the children of today and tomorrow. That’s when I decided to take action, and share it with others so that hopefully they can be inspired to do the same. 

Imagine what we can do together. The past cannot be changed, but our future can.
